A leading global financial services firm with operations in
more than 50 countries.

AssociateMaintained and enhanced server software in C++ and Perl.

Enhanced a SOAP-based web service, written in C++, that provides financial
calculations for investment banking decisions.

Developed a standalone server launching program in C++ to unify approaches
used on several legacy servers.

Increased customer-perceived stability in online systems through change
control and a staged release system, reducing outages by as much as a
factor of ten.

Increased efficiency of development staff through creation of debugging
and developer support tools. In one case, one of these debugging tools
found a flaw in half a day that had eluded the programmer for two weeks.

Developed a protocol converter in 11 days that allowed conversion of
server software to Windows NT-based TCP/IP from DOS-based X.25 protocol.
Saved the cost of rewriting client software and reshipping to thousands
of customers.

Developed a secure protocol to implement an authenticated virtual channel
over HTTP for client companies to authorize users into our system.
Software used by more than 20 financial websites developed for client
companies.

Selected by management as technical lead for groups of 3-5 developers on
two of the company's largest contracts.

Developed a website compiling technology that allowed the company to
complete the largest contract in the company's history on time. This
technology was later used to improve the productivity of our ASP
development staff by more than a factor of two.

Developed a 3-tier XML-based system for providing online financial data,
reducing reliance on legacy monolithic servers. The new servers are
capable of staying up for months at a time instead of requiring daily
reloads.

Developed an automated regression test tool for HTTP request-based
servers, resulting in the ability to diagnose many problems in minutes
leading to better confidence in live systems.

Provided technical expertise to other programmers on design,
troubleshooting, languages, and protocols.
